"Amruss offered to come the next day - which was the Thanksgiving holiday ! They came and performed the service at 8 am, and got the job done. Invoice sent by email immediately. Their payment web page to pay with my credit card was easy and clear."

"A very excellent and affordable experience. I can't believe I waited 17 years to clean my windows. There is so much light coming in now since the screens were removed which was suggested by Terry. I plan to use this service annually."

"<p>We contacted with them for a three-year service, three years in a row. They put it up in November and take it down in January. The buy who comes out is a real creative guy. He shows a bunch of pictures. We did not know what we wanted to do with as far as lights to, but he came up with an interesting plan and it was good. You buy the lights and, basically, they are yours. They put them up for your every year. If I had to say anything about them I would say there were creative.       </p>"

"Three years after downsizing from a house to my condo I still needed help making my office / guest room functional for my daily needs and comfortable for guests. It was worth every penny I spent yesterday for Chloe and Maria to whip my office into shape. And they were considerate of me when some of the decisions I had to make related to whether to let go of some things that my late husband and I purchased for our first home together. By the time she left, Svetlana had my bathrooms sparkling again and did some other light cleaning for me. This was a great experience all the way around. So much that I'll have them back later this summer to help me go through some of the other things that I just haven't been able to do since David passed. Thanks, M2O - I appreciate you so much."

"Excellent. The windows had not been cleaned in 20 years and were filthy. He did an excellent job. He also cleaned storm windows which cost extra. Those were filthy too. There was leaves and debre in between and he cleaned that out too."

"I began working with Polly in Spring of 2009, and she still does work for me. I needed help decorating my livingroom, DR and kitchen. I had purchased the big items (couch, chair, window treatments, painted walls) but I really need help when it comes to accessories, tables, lighting, artwork, etc. Polly is amazing. I had purchased a large media unit with several shelving components, and she shopped for accessories for all the shelves. I loved what she purchased and how she arranged it. If I didn't like something, she returned it. She has a great eye. She picked out the perfect lamps, tables and artwork. She shops at stores like Home Goods and online stores with great prices, so nothing was super expensive. She found the lamps and artwork on line and I couldn't believe how perfect the selections were (She always showed me everything before ordering it.) She brought me carpet samples for area rugs that I absolutely loved (I didn't even know you could buy area rugs from samples.) She made a beautiful floral arrangement for my DR buffet She also reduces your costs by shopping for more than one client at once. Her billing was extremely reasonable and she is super honest. I have probably spent more than $500 as she has done so much for me, but her services and purchases were all reasonably priced. Personally, she is super nice and down to earth and listens to what the client wants. I cannot say enough about her! I will have her decorate the rest of my house as well."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Antioch, IL

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
